Next Age

[Verse 1]
Your steady stream of throwaway words has flooded
This already crowded room
I've lost my taste for the race and the running
There's nothing here to prove
All I want
Want to know
Is what you're waiting for

[Chorus]
I'll flood the wreckage
Build a bridge into the next age and
Say goodbye and leave a
Cloud of dust behind
Flood the wreckage
Build a bridge into the next age and
Say goodbye and leave a
Cloud of dust behind

[Verse 2]
Spare us both the waste of a conversation
We've had too many times
Hope deferred makes the heart sick with desperation
And we've had enough for a lifetime
All I want
Want to know
Is what you're waiting for

[Chorus]
I'll flood the wreckage
Build a bridge into the next age and
Say goodbye and leave a
Cloud of dust behind
Flood the wreckage
Build a bridge into the next age and
Say goodbye and leave a
Cloud of dust behind

[Bridge]
The rush, the panic
The manic flood of static
Not quite sure why it never occurred
It wasn't worth what I was missing
The longer we stay
In this tragic comedy
Is just that much longer that it's gonna take
To learn life is meant for living

[Bridge]
(good things come to those who wait
They pass by those who hesitate)

[Chorus]
I'll flood the wreckage
Build a bridge into the next age and
Say goodbye and leave a
Cloud of dust behind
Flood the wreckage
Build a bridge into the next age and
Say goodbye and leave a
Cloud of dust behind

[Outro]
I spend my days at the sundown motel
Know my way around night town very well
